Movie Review by B Movie Ben
August 21st, 2007

I picked a helluva day to quit drinkin'.

Capt. Jimmy Wilder (Harry Connick Jr.): You scared, man?
Captain Steven Hiller (Will Smith): No. You?
Capt. Jimmy Wilder: No. Hold me.
Captain Steven Hiller: Hey, pay attention!
Lt. Colonel Watson (Bill Smitrovich): Something you want to add to this briefing, Captain Hiller?
Captain Steven Hiller: No Sir, just a little anxious to get up there and whoop E.T.'s ass, that's all!

I go back and visit this film occasionally as it has all the qualifications for real entertainment.

Roland Emmerich, who did Stargate and Godzilla, knows how to put together a film that incorporates great sound, and special effects, with some pretty good acting to boot.

Bill Pullman, Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, and Judd Hirsch all performed well and kept us interested. They were ably supported by some stars as Randy Quaid, Mary McDonnell and Robert Loggia. In addition, there were some fine beauties sprinkled through the film: Vivica A. Fox as an exotic dancer in her thong; Kiersten Warren and KImberly Beck both appeared in small parts, but their beauty did not go unnoticed.

So, overlook the obvious plot holes that come with this kind of movie, pop some corn and just enjoy.
